Sophie’s pov ;

I know the Sir is strict with me because he wants me to be stronger, to rely less on him, and to start finding my own strength.

I don’t want to be that little crybaby anymore, someone who can’t handle even a small breeze. One day, I want to be someone who can stand on her own and face any storm that comes her way.

So, when he said in that firm tone of his, “Don’t go to work at the coffee shop anymore.”

I knew he was only looking out for me.

"But, what if I still want to make money?" I asked, feeling a bit sheepish.

“I’ll help you find a new job,” he replied. “Somewhere farther from school, so you won’t be targeted by Amanda again.”

As usual, he made perfect sense. It wouldn’t do anyone any good if that crazy woman showed up again and caused trouble at the café. The manager there was so kind; it wouldn’t be fair to drag them into this mess.

“Okay, thank you, Sir,” I said with a nod. “Next time I pass by the café, I’ll tell the manager I won’t be coming in anymore.”

    Sophie’s pov :After I changed into my comfortable clothes, I tried to brush off the odd feeling in my chest.Sir had helped me without so much as a second glance, not even hesitating. Here I was, face burning, hoping for some kind of reaction, and he barely noticed me at all.Not even a flicker of interest.Was I really that unattractive? I flopped onto the bed and grabbed my pillow, punching it with frustration."Stinky Sir," I muttered. "You're the one who's blind!"At dinner, I tried to brush it off, but Sir kept piling food onto my plate until it looked like a mini mountain.I grimaced, "Sir, I don’t have that big of an appetite.""Eat more, you're too thin," he replied, all calm and serious, his black hair still damp, and his face looking as cold as ever.His words hit me like a bolt. Was he saying I was so thin it was...unappealing? Was that why he wasn’t interested in me?I looked down at my body, scrutinizing myself. Sure, I wasn’t exactly curvy, but was I that boring? Embarr

  • The Billionaire's Sweet Contract Wife   Chapter 38 Sir is very protective of her

    Sophie’s pov ;After I changed into my comfortable clothes, I still felt a strange warmth blooming in my chest.Sir’s words from last night kept replaying in my mind. He’d said no one had the right to judge my body, that he just wanted me to be healthy.A gentle warmth crept over my skin again, like I was wrapped in something soft and sweet. Sir could be so cold and distant, but in his own way, he really cared. I couldn’t help smiling.The next morning, Aunt Rosa handed me a glass of red date soy milk, and I gulped it down with a new sense of ease.“Aunt Rosa, you don’t have to make this for me every morning now,” I said, feeling lighter.My heart was finally at peace; I didn’t need to change myself for anyone.Across the table, Sir looked up from his magazine. I caught a brief smile on his face before he masked it with his usual calm expression.I waved to him, grabbing my thermos for class. “Sir, I’m heading out now. Bye!”“Hmm,” he replied, still cool as always, but I felt his gaze

    Sophie’s pov ;The moment I placed the strawberry mousse cake on the table, I felt like I was holding something priceless. I'd never bought a cake for myself before, much less one this big.Touching the tray beneath it, I frowned. “Sir, why is a six-inch cake so big? How can the two of us finish it?”Sir sat across from me, his expression impassive as usual.He simply replied, “If you can’t finish it, give the rest to Aunt Rosa. She has children at home.”I smiled, nodding eagerly. “That’s a great idea, Sir. You really do have a good heart.”He didn’t respond, only looked away with an odd expression. I knew that some people thought Sir was cold and distant, but I didn’t believe it. He’d always been so thoughtful, even if he hid it under that serious demeanor.I cut the cake and gave Sir the biggest piece, topping it with the best strawberries. I wanted him to enjoy this as much as I did, and as I took my first bite, my whole mouth filled with the creamy, sweet taste I’d always dreamed

    Dominic’s pov ;Sophie's cheeks flushed a beautiful shade of red as she quickly slipped out of my arms, her defiant voice ringing out, “I learned all this from you.”I raised an eyebrow. “From me?”She snorted, that small, indignant sound only making me want to pull her back close.“If you dare to be mean to me again, I’ll run away and stop being your wife, Dominic.”She said my name, and I felt it like a whisper of something intimate, a quiet plea that made my throat tighten. The urge to pull her back into my arms surged within me, a reminder of just how disarming this girl was without even realising it.I felt my eyes darken as I leaned closer, my voice low and almost a threat. “If you call my name again, don’t even think about going back tonight.”She blinked, innocence mixed with a small hint of curiosity. “Where do I sleep, then?”My gaze met hers, and I let the words slip, heavy with intention. “What do you think?”Her face went a deeper red as she caught my meaning.

    Dominic’s pov ;My new assistant for today informed me. "She's crying. Hiding in the lounge, alone."My jaw clenched as a cold anger seeped through me. But just as I steeled myself, Mr. Palmer continued, laughing and rambling on, entirely oblivious.I thought she would be fine on her own so I walked away earlier because I didn't want her to find out my real identity but when I heard what this bastard did to her I saw red.“Just watch,” he sneered, “she’ll go crawling back for that money. Women are all the same—give them cash, and they'll do anything. These women...nothing but toys to be used, discarded. Show a bit of kindness, and they act like they're entitled to respect.”The teacup cracked against the table as I set it down. Silence fell like a guillotine, cutting off every breath in the room.I allowed a smile—cold, biting. “John Palmer, if I recall, you have a mother at home, don&rsq

    Sophie’s pov ;Sir gestured for me to sit, and I did, feeling the tension in my shoulders slowly ease. He leaned in, his large hand gently pinching my chin, his touch sending an unexpected wave of warmth through me.The eye drops hovered above my eyes, but then his gaze shifted, lingering on the redness in my eyes from the tears I’d tried to hide earlier.He must have noticed the way I rubbed my cheek. Before I could even react, his fingers were on my face, pinching my cheek like it was the most natural thing in the world. I jolted in surprise, not expecting the sudden contact, my lips pouting in confusion.“Sir, what are you doing...?” I stammered, my words muffled as I tried to wriggle away from his gentle grasp.His gaze softened, his fingers moving over my face with such care that it made my heart flutter in spite of myself.“You’re so soft,” he murmured, his thumb rubbing over my cheek as though

I felt valued, respected, cared for in a way I’d never known before."Jenna, if they call you from a different number, just block them all. Don’t pay any attention to them. Don’t let them affect your mood."I didn’t want to give them the power to hurt me anymore. They had drained me dry for years, using me for whatever they could. But I couldn’t go back now, not after finding a sense of peace with Sir. I couldn’t risk bringing trouble to him."Yes, I will. Don’t worry." Jenna's voice was comforting.I spent the next two days in a constant state of anxiety. I couldn’t even sleep properly, my mind racing with thoughts of what might happen if they found me.

I had thought they were just ordinary brand clothes, but the material felt a little better.Unexpectedly, they were limited edition. Why was he so generous to me? Why would he, an ordinary office worker, buy me such expensive clothes?After I get back, I’ll have a good talk with him. I didn’t understand it at all.I turned to Edwin, who had stepped in and saved me from Samantha. "Thank you for saving me just now," I said, my voice still shaky. "I'm going home now. Goodbye."Samantha forced a smile, though it was clear it was hard for her to manage. “Ed, everything just now was a misunderstanding. I have no ill will towards Sophie. I just want to make friends with her. After all, she is disabled—who would want to pay attention to her?""Make friends?" Edwin’s tone was full of scorn. "Humph, who wants to make friend

    Sophie’s pov :ONE YEAR LATER ;The air was filled with laughter, music, and the sweet scent of flowers as Brandon and Ava’s wedding reception unfolded in full swing.The grand ballroom was beautifully decorated with cascading floral arrangements, twinkling lights, and elegant table settings. Everyone was dressed to the nines, and the atmosphere was nothing short of magical. I stood near the edge of the room, holding a glass of sparkling water, my heart swelling with happiness for my brother and his new bride.Dominic stood beside me, his hand resting gently on the small of my back. He looked as handsome as ever in his tailored black tuxedo, his presence commanding yet comforting. I couldn’t help but steal glances at him, still in awe of how lucky I was to have him by my side.As the evening progressed, Brandon and Ava took to the stage to thank everyone for coming. Brandon’s voice was warm and filled with gratitude, while Ava’s eyes sparkled with joy. They were the picture of happine

    Brandon’s pov :As we stepped outside the hospital, my eyes immediately caught sight of an expensive car parked nearby. It was sleek, modern, and screamed luxury. Sophie’s face lit up the moment she saw it.“That’s my husband’s car!” she said, her voice filled with excitement.I raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. “Won’t you introduce me to him?” I asked, trying to sound casual.Sophie blushed but nodded, her cheeks turning a soft shade of pink. Before I could say anything else, the car door opened, and a man stepped out.Sophie didn’t hesitate. She ran to him, her steps light and joyful, and threw her arms around him in a tight hug. “Sir!” she exclaimed, her voice filled with affection.I froze. Sir? My eyes widened as I took in the man standing before me. Tall, impeccably dressed, with an aura of power and authority that was impossible to ignore. And then it hit me—this wasn’t just any man. This was Dominic Williams.My throat tightened, and I choked on my own breath. This was the

    Brandon's pov :I stood in the study, my arms crossed, as Rey walked in nervously. She looked around, her eyes darting between me and my father, Jason. The tension in the room was palpable, and I could tell she knew something was wrong."Brother, what do you want from me?" Rey asked, her voice trembling slightly.I didn’t waste any time. "Rey, why is there an error in Bella’s DNA test result?"Her eyes widened, and she stammered, "This... I don’t know either. Maybe the organization made a mistake."I couldn’t help but sneer. "Mistaken? Do you know that if such an institution makes a mistake in the appraisal results, it will face a claim of millions?"In other words, these strictly regulated institutions never make mistakes. Rey’s excuse was flimsy at best."I asked John to do this. Could it be that she..." Rey tried to shift the blame to the servant, but I wasn’t having it."I just asked John and she said that when she went to the café to get a cup, there were two cups on the table,"

    Ava’s povI watched as Rey tried to play her little games, but she seemed to have forgotten one crucial detail—Christopher is my biological brother. How could an outsider like her possibly sow discord between siblings who share the same blood? It was almost laughable.Christopher glanced at her indifferently, his expression cold and unreadable. "Oh," he said simply, dismissing her attempt to gain his sympathy.Rey was left speechless, her carefully prepared words stuck in her throat. I hid my smile behind my teacup, taking a sip to conceal my amusement. My brother’s ability to see through people’s intentions was sharper than mine. Even he could see through Rey’s White Lotus act."Mr. Carpenter, I have something to tell you. Can we go out and talk?" I asked, turning to Brandon."Sure," he replied, standing up and following me out to the courtyard.As we walked, I noticed Rey’s anxious expression. She clearly wanted to follow us, but she couldn’t just leave Christopher alone in the room

    Sophie’s pov :I was sitting on the lawn, still feeling a bit sore from last night’s… activities with the Sir, when I heard a familiar voice call out to me."Bella, I didn’t expect you to be so good at fighting green tea."I turned around, surprised and delighted to see Ava walking toward me. "Ava! Why are you here?"She grinned and sat down next to me. "Luckily, I came, otherwise I would have missed your green tea show."I blushed, realizing she must have seen me earlier, wearing all that jewelry to make a point. Embarrassed, I started taking off the necklaces and rings, putting them back into my bag.Ava raised an eyebrow. "Bella, you look so good wearing it. Why are you taking it off?"I groaned, feeling my cheeks heat up even more. "Don’t make fun of me. I was just trying to piss them off."Who would wear so many jewels out of nowhere? It was way too heavy, and my neck and fingers were already tired. I couldn’t wait to take it all off.Ava chuckled, clearly understanding my person

    Sophie’s pov :The next day, I walked into school with an awkward posture, my legs feeling sore and unsteady. I was terrified that someone would notice, but of course, my friends did."Bella, what's wrong with you?" Carolyn asked, her voice filled with concern as she eyed me carefully.My face flushed red, and I quickly came up with an excuse. "It's nothing. I had a leg cramp when I slept yesterday. It hurts a little."Carolyn frowned, still looking worried. "Please sit down and have a rest. You have physical education class later. What are you going to do?"I sighed, already dreading the thought of running or doing any kind of physical activity. "Let me talk to the teacher and see if I can ask for leave."When the teacher arrived, I used my menstruation as an excuse, and to my surprise, she granted me leave. Normally, this teacher is very strict and rarely allows students to skip PE, no matter how unwell they claim to be. But for some reason, she was particularly lenient with me. May

    Dominic’s pov :After coming out to pour a glass of water, I couldn’t shake the growing discomfort in my chest. The house felt too quiet, too empty, even though Sophie was just in the other room.I glanced at the clock—it was just past ten. In the past, the little girl would sit on the sofa and wait for me to get off work, no matter how late it was.Even if I told her countless times not to wait, she’d stubbornly stay up, her eyes drooping with sleep but her determination unwavering. She’d always greet me with that soft, sleepy smile, and it made coming home worth every second.But now? She was already asleep.I frowned, the wrinkles between my brows deep enough to pinch a fly to death. Was this what they meant when they said couples eventually lose their passion and become more like family? We’ve only been married for less than a year, and already she’s so… perfunctory with me. What would happen in the future? The thought made my chest tighten uncomfortably. I didn’t like it. Not one

    Sophie’s pov :It all started with the rumors on the forum. Someone had posted that I, Sophie, had married a poor and ugly man. Honestly, I wasn’t angry. People say all sorts of things, and I’ve learned to brush them off.But Edwin, my cousin, couldn’t stand it. He was furious. How could anyone call Sir—Mr. Williams—poor and ugly? Edwin thought the people spreading these rumors were blind and stupid. He decided to take matters into his own hands.One day after school, Edwin secretly followed me. When I ran toward the Sir like a butterfly, Edwin snapped a few photos. He posted them on the forum, but to protect Sir’s identity, he only released blurry side profile photos. Still, the Sir’s tall, straight figure and his aloof aura were enough to win over a lot of female fans.The post was titled: Rumors Debunked: Sophie’s Boyfriend is a Handsome Guy! His Net Worth is a Mystery, He is Definitely Not a Poor and Incompetent Man!As soon as the photos were released, the forum exploded. Comment

    Rey’s pov :I walked into Amanda’s room, my expression carefully arranged into one of concern. She was sitting by the window, her face pale and her eyes red-rimmed. It was clear she’d been crying. Good. The more upset she was, the easier it would be to manipulate her. I needed her to deal with Sophie for me, and for that, she had to be motivated.“Amanda, what’s wrong with you?” I asked, my voice soft and sympathetic. I sat down beside her, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. She turned to me, tears silently streaming down her face. My mind raced. What had happened?“Why are you crying?” I pressed, my tone gentle but probing. “Who bullied you? Was it Sophie?”Amanda closed her eyes, as if the mere mention of Sophie’s name pained her. She didn’t answer immediately, and I felt a flicker of impatience. I needed her to talk, to give me something to work with.Finally, she spoke, her voice trembling. “Rey, tell me, should I not like Dominic? I saw the pictures… he brought that neckl
